Answer: The expected value of a ticket is  - $0.625

Explanation: The expected value is calculated as:

E = ∑pₙxₙ

where pₙ is the probability that the event xₙ occurs.

We have 3 events, first place, where x = $99 and p = 1/1000, second place, where x = $49 and the probability is 5/1000 and the ones that dont win nothing, where x= -$1 and the probability is 996/1000

where i used 99$ and 49$ for the prices because i am discounting the $1 for the ticket.

then the expected value is:

E = ($99 + 5*$49 - 996*$1)/1000 = - $0.625

wich means that in average you lose money in this game

schepotkina [342]

Answer:

Explanation:

One

d = 3063 m

a = 10 m/s^2

vi = 0

vf = ?

vf^2 = vi^2 + 2*a*d

vf^2 = 2*10*3063

√vf^2 = √61260

vf = 247.51 m/s

Two

vi = 0

vf = ?

a = 10 m/s^2

t = 18 s

a = (vf - vi) / t

10 = (vf - 0) / 18

10 * 18 = vf

180 m/s = vf
